Question:
This occurred when the Messenger was asked, and he said, "No." Then he was asked, "If we miss them, do we make them up?" He said, "No." He also said, "There is no prayer after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets." This is established in the collections of Ahmad ibn Humayd and Abu Dawud. Yes. What?
Answer:
If one prays the Sunnah prayer in the mosque, that suffices; it counts as the greeting of the mosque. If one prays it at home and then comes to pray the greeting of the mosque, he does not sit. Yes. It suffices as the greeting of the mosque. Yes. Only at home; the Sunnah is at home, and he is in the mosque, at home. Yes.
